For what you want it would be a matter of placing the columns in the order
you want the data to appear and then merging the cells you want to
concatenate. How fast you can do it in Word, as opposed to doing it in
Excel, depends on the number of rows you have in the table. In Word you'd
need to select each set of cells and merge them. It's not hard but could
involve a lot of repetitive work: Select, merge cells, select, press F4 to
repeat your last action (merge cells), select, press F4, you get the idea.
;-) Then once you're finished merging the cells you'd need to Find/Replace
all Paragraph marks in the merged column as well since a paragraph will be
placed between the data that was merged. If you have paragraph marks you
want to keep then it becomes a little more involved.
I suspect you're working with a large amount of data based on your example
so the Excel route would be the fastest -- it doesn't matter how much data
you are working with the entire process would take under five minutes. (Plus
I suspect if if were a small amount of data you wouldn't be asking. g)

Just out of curiosity, what sort of contortions would I have to go
through to do it in Word?
